Tokyo, Japan, 23rd December, 2022, Chainwire<\/strong><\/span><\/p> Astar Network<\/u><\/a>, the smart contract platform for multichain, has been awarded the Product of the Year at the 4th annual Blockchain Award by the Japan Blockchain Association. Astar Network\u2019s founder and CEO Sota Watanabe bagged the Person of the Year award for the second consecutive year at the same event.<\/p>\n Both Astar Network and Sota Watanabe emerged as the favorites of the Japanese Web3 community in a survey conducted by the Japan Blockchain Association (JBA). The JBA is the largest blockchain association in Japan, consisting of 171 companies including bitFlyer, Coincheck, Microsoft, GMO, EY, Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, Toyota, and ConsenSys.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sota Watanabe, the founder and CEO of Astar Network, said, \u201cWe are delighted to have been recognized by the Japanese Web3 community. As Japan\u2019s leading blockchain project, we remain committed to accelerating Web3 innovation through Astar. In 2023 and beyond, we will leverage our presence in Japan to unlock opportunities for entrepreneurs, developers, and users alike.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n Astar Network is the leading Layer-1 chain in Japan. As a parachain of Polkadot, it enables developers to build interoperable dApps. It supports both EVM and WASM smart contracts with cross-consensus messaging (XCM) and cross-virtual machine messaging (XVM).<\/p>\n As the Japanese government has made Web3 a part of its national strategy, Sota Watanabe is helping the government on the path forward. Sota has also been featured in the Forbes 30 Under 30 for both Asia and Japan. He has also been picked as one of the top entrepreneurs in Japan, and graces the cover of the latest edition of the Forbes Japan magazine.<\/p>\n Astar Network is the go-to blockchain for developers and enterprises interested in exploring the Japanese Web3 space. It\u2019s also the first public blockchain from the country to be listed there despite Japan\u2019s strict listing regulations. Astar\u2019s native token ASTR is registered as a cryptocurrency, not a security, by the Japanese government.<\/p>\n Astar Network supports the building of dApps with EVM and WASM smart contracts and offers developers true interoperability, with cross-consensus messaging (XCM) and cross-virtual machine (XVM). We are made by developers and for developers. Astar\u2019s unique Build2Earn model empowers developers to get paid through a dApp staking mechanism for the code they write and dApps they build.\u00a0<\/p>\n Astar\u2019s vibrant ecosystem has become Polkadot\u2019s leading Parachain globally, supported by all major exchanges and tier 1 VCs.

The integration will make it easier for users, many who never previously owned cryptocurrencies, to acquire digital assets and NFTs as part of their web3 journey. <\/p> MetaOne Wallet<\/u><\/a> is the flagship product under the AAG banner. It is a digital and unique crypto wallet that suits the needs of novices and experienced users. There is a substantial emphasis on security, safety, and efficiency, without compromising convenience. <\/p> MetaOne has integrated Coinbase Pay to make the onboarding process more straightforward. With the help of Coinbase Pay, MetaOne Wallet users can conveniently purchase non-fungible tokens and cryptocurrencies through convenient fiat currency payment methods.<\/p> \u201cWith the recent situation with FTX, we believe that more and more users will be looking for an alternative option for self-custody. MetaOne, with its unique features, is perfect for those who might not be comfortable with a fully non-custodial wallet.\u201d - said Jack Vinijtrongjit, CEO of AAG Integrating convenient fiat currency payment support is an integral part of AAG's mission to make MetaOne Wallet the only necessary tool for Web3 and metaverse purposes. Therefore, it is easy enough for novice crypto users, but powerful enough when they become power users.<\/p> The MetaOne Wallet features an integrated decentralized application store where only safe applications are whitelisted and approved called the MetaOne dpp store. Accessing these applications is done within the wallet through a built-in browser. <\/p> Furthermore, users benefit from eliminating private keys and seed phrases, making the wallet more straightforward to use by mainstream users. Instead, MetaOne relies on n-factor authentication to provide a seamless user experience.<\/p> In addition, the MetaOne Wallet performs automatic asset discovery. User assets will automatically be identified and displayed on the balance screen without requiring manual intervention. With support for assets across multiple blockchains - more to be added soon - it is an all-in-one solution for storing and managing digital assets.\u00a0<\/p>\n About AAG<\/b><\/p>\n AAG<\/u><\/a> is a web3 infrastructure company focusing on providing software that helps simplify interactions with blockchain applications and the Metaverse for mainstream users and traditional companies. AAG provides a secure and easy-to-use crypto wallet, as well as infrastructure software, such as a cross-chain search engine and GameFi SDK for enterprise companies. With the belief that education is the key to unlock the potential of web3, AAG is also exploring the concept of Learn-and-Earn with the mission of enabling economic opportunities worldwide via the Metaverse economy. AAG aims to bring 1 billion people into the Metaverse economy by 2030.<\/p>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/test_1671802038FRb9O1zcNf.jpg\")
